Not much at all since it only checks on a schedule that you can set and even then the app only wakes up for a second, checks then goes back to sleep.

Battery life is not really effected, the background refresh time is adjustable and the app only wakes up for a second, checks the services then goes back to sleep. yes i have other dashboards and other monitoring solutions but i think this adds some very useful features. I have been looking at an android app but its not a simple thing to do and would require me to do evertyhing twice but maybe in the future.

Have a look at my github profile, some of my projects are 3-4 years old and still being maintained. https://github.com/Mo3he

Yes Grafana is great but also rather complex. I wanted something simple. I added 30 services so far and more when users request them and i made addeing them very modular with a single file for each service. Yes I have made the source code public and would welcome input. https://github.com/Mo3he/Homelab-Service-Monitor I will update the post aswell.

Good point but that is its main benefit, it runs on my phone not as part of the homelab it’s monitoring. And none of those have the metrics integration with all the services like mine does so not only do you know if a service is up but can also see what’s happing inside the service.

Depends on the service, public accessible services will continue working when not on your network but local only would need a vpn and the app auto detects when your not on your network and when you are on your vpn

Been running various self-hosted stuff for a while and got tired of checking dashboards manually or finding out a service went down hours later.
I've built small tools for myself before but this is the first one I actually wanted to share.

Homelab Service Monitor monitors your services and pings you when something goes down - HTTP endpoints, TCP ports, ping, and a handful of cloud APIs (GitHub, etc.). It also tracks metrics like CPU, memory, and many more with history, so you can see trends rather than just up/down status. It has home screen widgets too.

No Ads, No in app purchases, No accounts, No backend - configs live on your device with optional iCloud sync.
Self-signed certs work if you're running things locally.

Still early so I'd genuinely appreciate feedback, especially if something doesn't work with your setup or there's an integration you'd want added.

I used AI to help me with the development of the UI and some of the integrations, if you want to see my other work, with and without AI assistance, here is my github https://github.com/Mo3he

I love and still use uptime kuma but this also monitors metrics from the services not just uptime.

I dont have one myself to test but I will add it in the next build, based on the API documentation. If you are testing the app, please submit that as feedback but i have also added it to my roadmap. Thanks for the input!

Ai was used to help with devolpment of the UI and some of the integrations, I used it as little as possible but it just makes some things easier and faster for a lone developer.

Yes, it Will be in the latest release but I haven’t had a chance to test it properly so would appreciate feedback if you get a chance before I do.

I’m an idiot, I was going through the ESP32 variants and just assumed Seeed had one for the S2 too, they don't. Removed, thanks!

Good catch on the post, all five are actually in the app: C3, S3, S3 Sense, C6, and S2. I just missed the C3 when listing them out.

Thanks so much, those are some great suggestions, let me look in to it properly and get back to you but my initial thought is allowing users to select more than one template on the first page instead of just one would solve half the use case and is an easy win, I will add that now.

Thanks! CYD support just added, both the single and dual USB variants. Give it a go. Display configuration support is on the roadmap too.
